A driver involved in a four-car accident that killed a 1-year-old girl will face careless driving charges for his role in the accident.

Timothy Clayton, 50, of Westminster, faces charges of careless driving resulting in death and careless driving resulting in injury. He was issued a summons on Oct. 26 and will appear in court on Nov. 21, according to Broomfield police.

The accident happened around 2 p.m. Oct. 14 on northbound U.S. 287. Police believe Clayton rear-ended a car driven by Michele Pincus, who was in town from Los Angeles visiting friends with her 1-year-old daughter, Nedra.

Family friend Greg Petras said Nedra sustained multiple skull fractures and was bleeding in the brain after the crash. She was airlifted to The Children's Hospital, according to Broomfield police.

Her condition did not improve at the hospital and her mother removed her from life support, Petras said. She died Oct. 16.

The four-car accident closed the northbound lanes of U.S. 287 near Miramonte and backed up traffic, which was already busy because of visitors to the Rock Creek Farm pumpkin patch.
